Top Diamondback Strategies for Marvel Snap

Another intriguing villain has slithered her way into *Marvel Snap*: Diamondback. This character, much like several female villains in the Marvel universe, teeters on the edge of becoming a heroine. Let's explore the best Diamondback decks in *Marvel Snap* to help you dominate the game.

How Diamondback Works in Marvel Snap

Diamondback is a 3-cost, 3-power card with an ability that reads: "Ongoing: Enemy cards here afflicted with negative Power have an additional -2 Power." This ability synergizes well with the numerous negative effect cards in Marvel Snap, such as U.S. Agent, Man-Thing, Scorpion, Hazmat, Cassandra Nova, Scream, and Bullseye. To maximize her effectiveness, you'll want to hit at least two cards with her Ongoing effect, effectively turning her into a 7-power card.

However, be cautious of Luke Cage, who can completely negate her power, and watch out for Enchantress and Rogue, who can swiftly neutralize her impact.

Best Diamondback Decks in Marvel Snap

While Diamondback might seem specialized, she fits seamlessly into several competitive decks, including Scream Move, Toxic Ajax, High Evolutionary, and Bullseye Discard. She's likely to shine most in Toxic Ajax and High Evolutionary decks, but let's focus on two diverse decks: Scream Move and Toxic Ajax.

Scream Move Deck:

Kingpin
Scream
Kraven
Sam Wilson Captain America
Spider-Man
Diamondback
Rocket Raccoon and Groot
Polaris
Doom 2099
Aero
Doctor Doom
Magneto

The Series 5 cards in this deck are Scream, Sam Wilson Captain America, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, and Doom 2099. Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot are essential for this deck's success. If you don't have Sam Wilson, consider swapping him for another affliction card like Scorpion.

The strategy involves manipulating your opponent's cards across the board while afflicting them with Kingpin and Scream. Diamondback can be placed in the same lane as Kingpin to secure that lane, reducing the power of cards moved there by -4. Meanwhile, Scream gains power elsewhere. The deck also includes a Doom 2099 package for late-game power spikes, with Aero, Doctor Doom, or Magneto, plus any additional affliction from card movement.

Toxic Ajax Deck:

Silver Sable
Hazmat
U.S. Agent
Luke Cage
Rogue
Diamondback
Red Guardian
Rocket Raccoon and Groot
Malekith
Anti-Venom
Man-Thing
Ajax

This deck is packed with Series 5 cards, including Silver Sable, U.S. Agent, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Malekith, Anti-Venom, and Ajax. While Silver Sable can be swapped for Nebula, the rest are crucial for optimal performance. This deck is one of the most expensive but also one of the most powerful.

The goal is to maximize Ajax's power using your affliction cards. Sometimes, you might want to avoid playing Luke Cage to boost Ajax further. Malekith can pull cards like Hazmat and Diamondback for power spikes, and Anti-Venom can deliver a surprise power surge in the final turns. Rogue is included to counter the prevalent Luke Cage, ensuring your deck remains effective.

Is Diamondback Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?

Diamondback is a valuable addition if you have most of the affliction-style cards for an Ajax deck or if you're a fan of Scream decks. However, if you avoid affliction decks or lack essential cards like Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot, you might want to skip her. She's most effective in decks that can be quite costly to assemble.

And those are the best Diamondback decks in Marvel Snap.
